It started after C.J. Beathard threw a bad pick six against Purdue last year. Iowa has been agressive and kind of dominant against teams that were clearly less talented. That has certainly not always been the case during the Kirk Ferentz era. But as I’ve written a few times, take a look at the score of the games against the bottom half of the B1G last year. Iowa won those games (against Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern and Illinois) by a combined score of 147-60. If it weren’t for Tevin Coleman being superhuman, then that total would have been even more lopsided.
